The SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) pursues high power density to reduce its capital cost. The fast spectrum SCWR, called a super fast reactor, can be designed with a higher power density than thermal spectrum SCWR. The mechanism of increasing the average power density of the super fast reactor is studied theoretically and numerically. Some key parameters affecting the average power density, including fuel pin outer diameter, fuel pitch, power peaking factor, and the fraction of seed assemblies, are analyzed and optimized to achieve a more compact core. Based on those sensitivity analyses, a compact super fast reactor is successfully designed with an average power density of 294.8 W/$cm^3$. The core characteristics are analyzed by using three-dimensional neutronics/thermal-hydraulics coupling method. Numerical results show that all of the design criteria and goals are satisfied.

본 논문은 마이크로 플럭스게이트 자기 센서 (micro fluxgate magnetic sensor)의 여자코일 선폭에 따른 자계 검출 특성 변화에 관한 것이다. 센서 제작을 위해 PCB 다층 적층기술을 사용하였으며, 연자성 코어를 둘러싼 여자코일 선폭을 각각 $260\;{\mu}m$와 $520\;{\mu}m$로 센서를 구현하였다. 센서는 모두 5층의 기판을 적층 하였으며, 가운데 (3번째)기판을 자성체 코어로, 자성체 코어 외부 (2번째와 4번째)기판을 여자코일로, 최외부 (1번째와 5번째)기판을 검출코일로 제작하였다. 연자성 코어로는 약 100,000의 큰 DC 투자율 (permeability)을 갖는 코발트 (Co)가 주성분인 아몰퍼스 재료를 사용하였으며, 자속 누설을 최소화하기 위해 사각 링 형태를 유지하였다. 솔레노이드 형태의 여자코일과 검출코일은 구리 재질로 제작되었다. $260\;{\mu}m$ 여자코일 선폭을 갖는 자기센서는 여자조건이 360 kHz, $3\;V_{p_p}$의 정현파일 경우에 780 V/T로 매우 우수한 감도를 보이고 있으며, $-100\;{\mu}T\;{\sim}\;+100\;{\mu}T$ 영역에서 매우 우수한 선형특성을 보이고 있다. 자기 센서의 크기는 $7.3\;{\times}\;5.7\;mm^2$이며, 소비전력은 약 8 mW이다. 이런 초소형 자기센서는 휴대용 네비게이션 시스템, telematics, VR 게임기 등 다양한 응용분야에 적용할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 PCB용 카본 CCL의 열전달 특성을 실험과 수치해석을 통해 연구하였는데 카본 CCL의 특성 연구를 위해 기존 FR-4 코어와 Heavy copper 코어를 적용한 PCB를 비교하였다. 열전달특성 분석을 위해 코어는 한 개와 두 개가 적용된 HDI PCB 샘플이 제작되었고, 카본코어는 Pan grade와 pitch grade의 2종이 적용되었으며, 코어 두께에 의한 열전달 특성도 평가되었다. 연구결과에 의하면 카본 코어의 열전달 특성은 heavy copper 코어보다는 낮으나 FR-4 코어보다는 우수하였다. 또한, 카본 코어와 heavy copper 코어는 두께가 증가할수록 열전달 특성이 높아졌으나 FR-4 코어는 두께가 증가할수록 열전달 특성이 낮아졌다. heavy copper 코어 적용시 드릴마모도 증가, 무게 증가, 전기절연성 확보를 위한 절연재의 추가로 원가상승을 고려할 때 카본 코어가 PCB의 열전달 특성 향상을 위한 대안이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The object of this study is to find the optimal insulation design conditions of a HTS power cable cryostat. The optimum condition of a cable cryostat is obtained by varying types of MLIs, cable core weights, spacer diameters, winding pitches and MLI layer numbers. As the weight of cable core is increased, conduction heat transfer from surroundings to cable cryostat is increased. But as the spacer pitch is increased from 120 mm to 200 mm, the heat leak of cable cryostat remains almost constant. The optimal number of MLI layers is suggested. Double ply MLI is more effective than triple ply MLI and the insulation effect is best when the number of MLI layers is 36.

Naval ships are assigned many and varied missions. Their performance is critical for mission success, and depends on the specifications of the components. This is why performance analyses of naval ships are required at the initial design stage. Since the design and construction of naval ships take a very long time and incurs a huge cost, Modeling and Simulation (M & S) is an effective method for performance analyses. Thus in this study, a simulation core is proposed to analyze the performance of naval ships considering their specifications. This simulation core can perform the engineering level of simulations, considering the mathematical models for naval ships, such as maneuvering equations and passive sonar equations. Also, the simulation models of the simulation core follow Discrete EVent system Specification (DEVS) and Discrete Time System Specification (DTSS) formalisms, so that simulations can progress over discrete events and discrete times. In addition, applying DEVS and DTSS formalisms makes the structure of simulation models flexible and reusable. To verify the applicability of this simulation core, such a simulation core was applied to simulations for the performance analyses of a submarine in an Anti-SUrface Warfare (ASUW) mission. These simulations were composed of two scenarios. The first scenario of submarine diving carried out maneuvering performance analysis by analyzing the pitch angle variation and depth variation of the submarine over time. The second scenario of submarine detection carried out detection performance analysis by analyzing how well the sonar of the submarine resolves adjacent targets. The results of these simulations ensure that the simulation core of this study could be applied to the performance analyses of naval ships considering their specifications.

Thermal-hydraulic performance has been analyzed for an advanced reactor core loaded with hexagonal fuel assemblies. Currently available CHF prediction models and data base for triangular lattice bundles have been thoroughly reviewed, and as a result the KfK-3 CHF correlation with limit CHFR of 1.235 has been determined to be most appropriate. The pressure drop model in COBRA-IV-I code has been modified for the analysis of triangular lattice rod bundles. In view of maximizing the thermal margin, the geometry of a hexagonal fuel assembly, such as rod diameter and rod pitch, has been optimized with a fixed fuel assembly cross sectional area The optimum value of the moderator-to-fuel volume ratio is estimated to lie between 0.65 to 1 with 9.5 mm rod diameter. The thermal margin of these hexagonal fuel assemblies in the AP600 core has been evaluated and compared with that of square lattice fuel assemblies such as VANTAGE-5H and KOFA. The analysis result shows that the performances of hexagonal fuel assemblies are more favorable than the square fuel assemblies in the aspect of steady-state overpower margin.

A5J32-T4 and A5052-H32 dissimilar aluminum alloy plates with thickness of 1.6 and 1.5 mm were welded by friction stir lap welding (FSLW). The FSLW were studied using different probe length tool and various welding conditions which is rotation speed of 1000, 1500 rpm and welding speed of 100 to 600 mm/min and material arrangement, respectively. The effects of plunge depth of tool and welding conditions on tensile properties and weld nugget formation. The results showed that three type nugget shapes such as hooking, void, sound have been observed with revolutionary pitch. This plunge depth and material arrangement were found to effect on the void and hooking formation, which in turn significantly influenced the mechanical properties. The maximum joint efficiency of the FSLWed plates was about 90% compared to base metal, A5052-H32 when the A5052-H32 was positioned upper plate and plunge depth was positioned at near interface between upper and lower plates.

In this study, an injection mold with ultra-small surface properties was manufactured using nanosecond laser processing. A superhydrophobic characteristic analysis was performed on the PET specimen manufactured through this. To this end, a hydrophobic pattern was defined using the Cassie-Baxter model. The defined features were selected with a spot diameter of 25um and pitch spacing of 30um and 35um. As a result of the basic experiment, it was confirmed that the fine pattern shape had an aspect ratio of 1:1 when the pitch interval was 35um and 20 iterations. Through the determined processing conditions, a hydrophobic pattern was implemented on the core surface of KP4. A specimen with a hydrophobic pattern was produced through injection molding. The height of the molded hydrophobic pattern is 20 ㎛ less than the depth of the core and the contact angle measurement results are 92.1°. This is a contact angle smaller than the superhydrophobic criterion. Molding analysis was performed to analyze the cause of this, and it was analyzed that the molding was not molded due to the lack of pressure in the injection machine.
